Create satellite site

Step 11: Create *.cri file using Manage Project

To create satellite site for a project, browse the project A in the CADMATIC desktop and use command Object > Manage Project. Using this command you can replicate both library and project databases. This command also creates a .cri file to be sent to the satellite site and to be used when installing new COS Replica server.

  • Click project icon and use command Object > Manage Project.

  • On the Project Info tab in Manage Project, ensure that the project info contains the following:

    • COS Server is "Replica_0"

    • Project database is "Project_A.pms"

    • Library database is "CompanyLib.lib"

  • On the Replication tab, click Add.

  • Click Create Replica and name the new server as "Replica_0_3".

  • Select the following options for the replica server:

    • Type of license is "CoDesigner Site"

    • Connection is "Online Mode"

    • Host name is "localhost:5027" (the one which hosts project A)

    • The replica server shares its master's user accounts

    • Installation file is "COS_Replica_0_3.cri" which is sent to satellite site.

    • Include initial database update.

    • Max number of Design Areas: 5

Step 12: In satellite site: install Replica_0_3 server from *.cri file

  • Use CADMATIC installation software (Custom) and click option "Install/upgrade COS server".

  • Select “New replica COS server installation” from the options.

  • Browse for the installation file you created in previous step.

  • In next steps you can accept or change the installation paths and port number.

  • Click Yes to set the status of the replica to be online.

  • After installation, use command Object > Manage COS from the CADMATIC desktop and click Connect to… to bring out the installed server in the list.

Step 13: Install satellite site

  • In satellite site use the CADMATIC desktop command Object > Install Satellite Site.

  • COS server is the one you installed in previous step (Replica_0_3).

  • Select "project A" to be used in satellite site.

  • Select root directory for the replicated project.
